The garden in march

After months of dreaming and planning, the season of seeds and pots and dirt and compost is here - ever so gently and ever so new.

What I’m sowing & planting this month:

🌸 tomatoes
🌸 spinach
🌸 lettuces
🌸 rocket
🌸 melon
🌸 watermelon
🌸 zucchini
🌸 eggplant
🌸 runner beans
🌸 cucumbers
🌸 pumpkin
🌸 radishes

🌼 snapdragons
🌼 cosmos
🌼 calendula
🌼 nasturtium
🌼 California poppies
🌼 strawflowers

The weather has been a balm to the soul these last few days, and one of the tasks lately has been enlarging the garden.
In fact it’s more like a reinvention of the space, as we are adapting the land to welcome a pair of sheep soon (*gasp!*), and with fencing and all we are dreaming up what the garden can become. I may even have been spending a little bit too much time on Pinterest looking at gardens (my guilty pleasure).

But step by step, so for now we are making new terraced beds. Soon we’ll remove the fencing around the first garden and just join everything together. It’s slightly hard to explain, but you’ll see it when it’s done and it will make sense.

Our good friend and neighbor Cecília came to give a hand, and it’s always easier and more fun when there is company. (How I miss having visitors and friends passing by!)

Everything looks bare now, but there are little things here and there… In a few months, color and buzzing and abundance will return. In the meantime, here’s some garden joy - in small, small doses.

Wishing you all a delightful march! 🌿🌈🌻
